Ocean Point's Jessica Miller said they measured a spot where the big guy laid down to confirm just how big he was.

In a video posted to Facebook, Ocean Point said the gator "paid.. no mind" to the humans and a few deer who stopped to watch him stroll by.

As a reminder, Ocean Point said: "if you ever see a gator traveling out of water, stay back and let him continue his journey."

That's a message we can all agree with.

Fripp Island is a barrier island along the coast of South Carolina. The Lowcountry town of Beaufort is northwest, just a few miles inland. According to Ocean Point's website, the island is home to more than 175 species of birds, as well as deer, dolphins, and alligators.
